Respondent: Stratford on Avon District Council

Stratford-on-Avon District Council is supportive of Solihull's conclusion that the standard methodology should be used. Should SMBC wish to use an alternative methodology, careful consideration would need to be given to the potential wider and possibly consequential implications on other authorities within the Greater Birmingham Housing Market Area.

Stratford- on- Avon District Council is concerned that development in Blythe could impact directly on Stratford-on-Avon District for example in terms of increased cross boundary pressure on infrastructure, for example, the highway network around Earlswood and potentially Wood End. The Council respectfully requests that SMBC engage fully with Warwickshire County Council as the relevant highway authority and with local parish councils and community groups in neighbouring areas of Stratford-on-Avon District in formulating any plans and proposals.

Stratford- on- Avon District Council is very concerned that development at Dog Kennel Lane combined with sites 11 and 26 (1940 dws in total ) could impact directly on Stratford-on-Avon District for example in terms of increased cross boundary pressure on infrastructure, for example, the highway network around Earlswood and potentially Wood End.

SoA DC is concerned that development at Whitlock's End combined with sites 11 and 12 (1940 dws in total) could impact directly on Stratford-on-Avon District for example in terms of increased cross boundary pressure on infrastructure, for example, the highway network around Earlswood and potentially Wood End. It is recognised that Whitlock's End station is in the vicinity and could relieve some of this pressure. The Council requests that SMBC engage fully with Warwickshire CC as the relevant highway authority and with local parish councils and community groups in neighbouring areas of SoA District in formulating any plans and proposals.

Stratford-on-Avon District Council would comment that any development in Hockley Heath could impact directly on Stratford-on-Avon District in terms of for example transport infrastructure and the strategic importance of the A3400. The statement on page 38 that "Due to the proximity to the borough boundary, future expansion of the settlement within Solihull Borough is limited and largely restricted to the north and west of the village" is therefore broadly welcomed.

It is recognised in the LPR that although KDBH do not have significant areas of employment (which could result in high levels of out-commuting) are all located in close proximity to the Strategic Highway Network. They do have a full range of facilities including both secondary & primary schools, health services and a range of shops, services and facilities and therefore is well placed to accommodate growth in excess of just its own local needs. For these reasons it is not anticipated that development here would have an adverse impact on infrastructure in Stratford- on- Avon District.

It would have been helpful if maps showing the location and extent of the five settlements to be removed from the Green Belt had been provided. SoA DC is not able to properly assess the impact to the wider Green Belt of their removal and therefore reserves the right to comment further if necessary. The Council notes the requirement (NPPF) to establish defensible long-term boundaries to the Green Belt. This consultation is not considering the issue of housing numbers or the Birmingham shortfall, SoA DC respectfully queries to what extent proper decisions can be taken as to what settlements to inset from the Green Belt when the strategic context is still unknown?
